Berry and Louie spoke to area youth as part of the
educational project Stand Strong (Gil Talbot).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard women’s
basketball senior co-captains Brogan Berry and Lindsay Louie spent
time last week speaking to Boston area youth as part of the
educational project Stand Strong, a 13-week sport and character
education program sponsored by The Sports Museum.

Berry and Louie’s involvement came on the final night of
the project during Stand Strong’s annual wrap up party at the
TD Bank Garden. The two spoke about teamwork, determination,
courage, fairness and responsibility before opening the floor to
questions and answers from the audience. A ceremony was then held
to honor the children who had completed the program before the
group attended that night’s hockey game between the Boston
Bruins and Calgary Flames.

“Brogan and I had a great time meeting and speaking with
the youth that completed the Stand Strong program,” Louie
commented. “They all were very excited to be at the Garden
and to receive their certificates of completion at the ceremony.
During the ceremony, Brogan and I were invited to do a question and
answer session with the kids and they were eager to find out if we
were going to play in the WNBA. It was a great experience,
and a great way to get off campus”

Stand Strong, the hallmark educational program of The Sports
Museum, includes a number of field trips which allow participating
children to engage in activities centered around aspects of
character and building teamwork. To learn more about Stand Strong,
